Philip Carr-Gomm’s WeblogRegarding blogging, Philip writes, “Just as the spiritual path can be characterised as the ongoing attempt to both remember yourself and forget yourself, so blogging can be seen as a challenge to both be more personal, more open, more sharing of the riches of a life and at the same time to take yourself less seriously, to let go of the concern about what other people might think about you, and to reveal rather than conceal your curiosity and amazement at the often crazy world you find yourself in.”

Meadowsweet & MyrrhAlison Leigh Lilly — peace, poesis & wild holy earthAlison writes, "The Song of the World holds within it the poetry, the ecstasy and metaphor of the Bard, the movement, spaciousness and changing landscapes known to the Seer, and the justice, peace and sure harmonies of truth sought by the Druid. And so, having come a long way without intending to, one day I found myself back at the beginning again: a wild child, a woodsy child, a child who could concentrate all of my attention on holding perfectly still, listening for the soul-song of the robin hunting crickets in the field, and rejoicing quietly in the changing chords of my own song suspended in awareness and gratitude."
